DON'T YOU DO 1T.

Very few people can afford to part with
their money for anything less than its full
value. Until you have thoroughly investi-
gated the sources of supply, and know where
to get the most for your money, it is not wise
to let it slip out of your pockets into other
peoples pockets. Many people part with
but ''don't you do it,

CUSTOM AND LAW

Compel people to wear Boots, Shoes, Hats
and Caps, and it takes money to get them.
With the present low prices for farm products
and labor, it is just as much ones duty to buy
where he can get the most and best for his
money as it is to labor and till the soil. in
order to get money with which to supply his
wants. Some people are foolish enough to
think and act otherwise, but don't you dol !"

Personal Habits Of Leo XIII and HIS
Love for the Zine Arta.

Personal Habits of Leo XIII and Els
Love for the Zine Arta
Few persons whom fate has raised to 90
high q rank love seclusion so much as the
successor Of Plus XII, who was never
averse to cheerful surrounding. Leo XIII
Is seldom seen IN his reception robes; still
more difficult is 1t to observe him In his
house dress. The seelusion In which he
dwells Is easily accounted for-frst by
his naturally retiring ways and secondly
by the fact that his devotion to all tho
affairs that claim his attention leaves him
absolutely no time for visitorA Mgr.
Della Volpe, the successor Of Maoh1 as
maestro dt camera, must bear the brunt OF
the general dissatisfaction e~ngsndered by
the scarcity OF admission to a papal audi
ence, and yet he is powerless to remedy
the evil. Leo XIII, who sits constantly
before his enormous, artistical1y carved
writing desk, hidden behind a heap Of
books, diplomatic letters and newspapers,
rarely allows himself to be interrupted in
his work in order to listen to the timid
petitions Of his maestro di camera, and
contents himself with proving to him that
he has no time to lose.
He has not yet become convinced that q
general blessing will satisfy his visitors,
and therefore when he grants an audience
to twenty or thirty persons he considers
himself obliged to take special interest In
each individual. He asks questions and
gives advice, all of which trios him very
much and robs him Of many q precious
hour. Therefore he resists as long as pos
sible without yielding to the necessity Of
appearing in the reception hall between
two noble guards and accompanied by the
monsignor participants, whose Office Is to
introduce those who have come to be pre-
sented to the holy father.
Another class of persons who, with the
best Of intentions, give the pope much
trould are the mediocre artists. Leo XIII
Is a great admirer of the fine arts. On his
way to the garden he often stops in tho
hall Of the candelabri, in the Vatican
museum, descends from his chair and 70
mains several minutes, surrounded by his
pa~lfrenieri, in gazing at the ceiling, which
Is being painted at his expense by Salty.
He inquiries about the progress Of the
painting, asks those around him for their
opinion concerning the work, and repeat
edly orders very costly details to begin
anew, In order to make them more
worthy Of himself and the apos-
toic palace. But surrounded as
he is by masterpieces Of art, how
many incredible pictures, what abortive
portraits must he see, bless and accept 40
tokens Of venerationl Leo XIII In hard
to please In artistic matters; he is rarely
satisfied with his portraits, and even Len
bach could not succeed In thoroughly
pleasing him.-Berlin Boersen-C Courier.

Knows Whereof he Speaks.
Na~ York Yra.a

A brief talk from Mir. A. R. Whitney
on the outlook of the iron and steel
trade under an insufficient duty is both
instructive and interesting. Whether
in 4 state or national campaign, Mr..
Whitney may be found IN tho fore rank
Of the defenders of American labor and
American industry. lie is u hard fight
er, and our friends, the enemy, know it.
Mr. Whitney is also Il good talker.
"Iron pays" said he, "a duty Of an
average OF. n cent a pound. Steel,
which is now being manufactured on
the other side, suitable for the same
purpose rs iron, and even better. pays
all average duty Of about one half =
cent q pound, and they have brought
into this country during the present
year Of this material over 100000
worth per week. The effect Of this is
that many OF u steel mills have been
Obliged to close up, and the workmen
who haye been constantly employed,
had duty been the same as on iron,
are idle. Take the article Of steel
hoops, for instance. They are better
than our for the purpose. We had a
mill that employed $50 men making
those hoops for years. 1t is o closed
up and the padlocks are on the door, as
We cannot make them at our mill, nor
a any ono else in this country at the
price they can deliver them here from
the other side.
"All This is owing to the difference in
wages paid between this country and
Europe. Labor where these hoops are
made abroad averages not to exceed
one-third OF the price paid in this coun-
try. In other words, their pay list is
less than one.third of ours. While
their living expenses absorb everything
they make from week to week, our men
have always lived in houses with car
pets on tho floors. their wives and chill
dren comfortable and well dressed.
Many of them own their own houses
and all have money in the savings bank.
"You a say for me-" remarked MIR.
Whitney, in conclusion, 'that We don't
propose to reduce our respectable
American artisans to the condition of
foreign pauper lsborers il we can help
